Penis Size Information

The number one concern of many men is whether
their penis matches up to the
average size and shape of the adult penis.

Why? Well, it's a fact that men
can agonize and worry about penis size -- of course, meaning that they think
their penis is too small. The truth is that what you have is nearly always
good enough, and it's what you do with it that makes it a tool for giving
great pleasure to both you and your sexual partners.

And if you don't have a
sexual partner, you may find this advice from the seduction community, or to be exact, from the The Tao Of Badass, useful:
how to get a relationship! This is an excellent if you spend all your time on the internet
and none with real women!

Porn is criticized for many reasons, but one of them is
particularly relevant to this discussion of penis size perceptions: so-called
actors in so-called adult movies are in fact usually hugely endowed with an
abnormal sexual capacity.

What you see on the screen is not like real life, and it's
not necessary for you to try and live up to those images. Indeed, the only
thing that matters about penis size is whether your size satisfies you and
your partner.

The truth is sexual enjoyment and sexual pleasure matter
most. And indeed, worries about penis size may cause men to actually develop
premature ejaculation.

Now cause I know
these are easy things to say, because
men are very competitive
around penis size,
and it does indeed occupy a great deal of our time and energy. So to try and
introduce a little bit more objectivity into this debate, here are some simple
facts that you may not know. It's much more important to overcome
premature ejaculation
and be a good lover than a big-dicked stud.

First
of all, it is true that there are differences between races, so that black men
do tend to have larger penises than white men, who in turn tend to have larger
penises than Asian men. But it's also true that what you see in the locker
room is not necessarily related in any way to the size and shape of a man's
erection.

you have pearly penile papules, you might want to look at this information,

If all that matters is the size of the sexual organ
that's you present to a sexual partner, then logically, penis size in the
locker room is a matter of complete irrelevance.

And yet of course, we know it's not: which does
imply that a massive amount of the debate around penis size, not to mention
the feelings of inferiority that can be engendered in a man who feels his
penis is less than average size, is about some kind of competitive force
between men.

It is an extraordinary fact that in our "civilized"
society, penis size should be a factor of such major importance.

It's also ironic that not only is flaccid penis size
unrelated to erection size, it's actually affected by the temperature of the
air or water, the degree of sexual stimulation you're feeling, and how much
fat a man has on his body just above his penis.

But despite this, we know that men are absorbed in the
question of penis size, and so it is interesting to discover what the average
size of the adult male penis actually is.

The trouble is that when you do a survey in which men
are asked to measure their own penises, they tend to respond with data which
shows the average size as being an inch greater than is actually the case!

To get a reliable estimation of penis size you have to turn
to surveys that have been done by medical professionals, and perhaps
unsurprisingly, there are not many of those around.

The most reliable of them indicate that the average length
of the penis along the upper surface is 5.9 inches, with a girth or
circumference of 4.9 inches.

Since this is an average size
it will occur to you that roughly half of the male members of the the human
race are above this and roughly half are below it. Therefore if you see
yourself as being below average size, you're definitely not alone!

Unfortunately you may wish for a bigger penis, and spend
emotional energy agonizing over your perceived size or trying to find some way
of making your cock bigger, rather than directing your energy and time to
accepting yourself as you are.

Nothing shows this more clearly than the huge amount of
propaganda that's been devoted to traction devices, pills, lotions, and
exercises that are alleged to enlarge the penis.

Even so, you may feel that you still want to
investigate the possibility of enlarging your penis. The harsh reality that
you're going to have to face is that there is actually no way that you can
enlarge your penis.

There are no pills which
will make it bigger -- I think you'd be incredibly na´ve if you believed that
anyway. Exercises which involve pulling on the semi-erect penis have to be
done so vigorously and so harshly to produce any increase in size that you
risk serious damage to the internal structure of the penis (possibly causing
Peyronie's disease).

And finally, surgical
operations which have been touted as a reliable way to increase the length and
girth of the erect penis carry significant risks: to start with, the nerves
that supply all sensation to the penis lie directly under the tissues which
are cut in a penile lengthening operation, which means that if you opt for
surgery to lengthen the penis you risk ending up with a penis that's neither
capable of becoming erect nor capable of giving you any sexual pleasure.

Indeed, even when these two dangers are avoided,
it's common for the penis to shrink further after the operation and appear
shorter than before, due to scar tissue formation.

As for thickening the penis, the usual method
is to take fat from under the skin of other parts of the body and inject it
around the penis. This is unstable, and the fat will be reabsorbed fairly
rapidly, giving an unpleasant appearance to the penis, and a negligible
increase in size, after a few months.

Lumps, bumps and other problems

If
you have a lump in the skin of your penis, fear not! Such lumps are almost
always benign, and can occur anywhere in the body.

They include cysts, like lipomas, pimples and moles.
More significant than any of these are swellings on a small vein on the penile
surface, due to trauma caused by vigorous sex.

These contusions heal spontaneously after a few days,
but treat your penis carefully if you have prominent veins to avoid any
possible damage during intercourse.

Circumcision and
the penis

One of the most common queries of all is about
little white pinpoint spots on the penile skin, which are known as Fordyce
spots. White pearly lumps on the edge of the penile glans are called pearly
penile papules, and are extremely common. A urologist can remove them with
cryogenic techniques.

Another common
penile problem is a curve in the penis when it becomes erect. You can see from
the penis size statistics on this site that a
bend in the penis is actually extremely common. It's only a problem when a boy
is born with a significant bend in his penis, or when a man's penis is injured
during intercourse and then forms a curve which is too severe for intercourse
take place.

Penile surgery for bends is now sophisticated,
so it is possible to deal with Peyronie's disease with a surgical solution,
but if you are going down this road please make sure that the surgeon you
choose is an expert in this area.

One of the most common causes of trauma to the
penis is woman on top sex positions, when the woman rises too high up while
riding an erect penis, which then slips out of her vagina, before she lands on
it as she descends.

Indeed, this trauma can be so severe that it leads to a
condition known as penile fracture; this is nothing to do with breaking a
bone, as you might expect; it's actually a tear in the tunica albuginea inside
the penis. Penile fracture is an extremely painful problem, and requires
urgent surgical attention. You can see all kinds of
cock pictures here, and
dick pictures here, and
penis pics here.

By the way, if you have Peyronie's disease you may notice a hard scar or
plaque inside the body of your penis when it's flaccid: this is the hard
calcified lump which is responsible for the bend in the penis on erection. In
the early stages of Peyronie's disease, you may also notice that your erection
is quite painful.

Although Peyronie's disease can stabilize, and
sometimes even improve with time, this can be a lengthy process -- up to two
years.

Nonetheless, it may be useful waiting for a while because the
treatments that have been developed for Peyronie's disease, including vitamin
E, Potaba, steroids, ultrasound, and surgery, all seem to have a variable
success rate.

The most common operation for Peyronie's
disease is the Nesbitt procedure, in which the bend of the penis is reduced by
removing a piece out of the wall of the corpora opposite the scar. This will
straighten the penis, but will resort a shortening of the penis and possibly a
loss of sensation.

Finally, the last problem is worth mentioning in this section is phimosis --
the inability to pull the foreskin back over the glans.

It's a misconception that young boys have phimosis
because the penile glans normally adheres to the foreskin until a boy is about
six years old. Before this, forcible retraction of the foreskin must be
avoided, since it can result in scar tissue formation and an oversensitive
glans.

If the
foreskin is genuinely non-retractable at puberty it tends to be because the
opening of the foreskin is narrow; this can be dealt with using steroid
treatment as described on this website:
